The demand for allergen specific immunotherapy (AIT), especially sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), is increasing because of its efficacy in inducing clinical remission of allergic diseases and its low risk of side effects. Since not all patients that undergo SLIT demonstrate an improvement in allergic symptoms, the development of biomarkers to predict the outcome and adjuvants for SLIT is desired. Saliva is the first target with which tablets used in SLIT come into contact, and salivary pH, chemical properties or microbiome composition are reported to possibly be associated with the outcome of SLIT. Antibodies such as IgG4 and IgA not only in the serum but also in the saliva are increased after SLIT and may also be associated with the efficacy of SLIT. The development of the metagenomic sequencing technique makes it possible to determine the microbiome composition and ratio of each bacterium, and researchers can investigate the relationships between specific bacteria and the immune response. Some bacteria are reported to improve the SLIT outcome and have the potential to be used as biomarkers for the selection of patients and as adjuvants in SLIT. Here, we introduce biomarkers for SLIT and present recent findings regarding the relationship between saliva and SLIT.

Soil quality changes in the Horqin sandy area under different ecological restoration patterns.

College of Ecology, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, 730000, Gansu, China.
Ecological restoration is crucial for combatting desertification and mitigating grassland degradation. The assessment of changes in soil quality under different restoration patterns is beneficial for optimizing the development and implementation of local ecological restoration strategies. In this study, five typical restoration patterns of sample plots-plant regenerative sand-barrier land (S2), shrub planted afforested land (S3), aerially seeded afforested land (S4), artificially restored grassland (S5), fenced shrubland (S6), and a control plot (S1)-were selected as research objects in the Horqin sandy area.

The modulation of inflammatory mediators has emerged as a critical therapeutic strategy in uveitis management. Current nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory therapies face limitations due to systemic side effects. Caffeic acid (CA), a natural polyphenol with anti-inflammatory properties, holds therapeutic potential but suffers from poor solubility and ocular irritation.

Background: The study aimed to evaluate the level of agreement between specialists in pediatric allergology regarding the diagnosis and indications for allergen immunotherapy (AIT) for dust mites, molds, animal dander, and Hymenoptera venom allergen, as well as mixtures of several allergen sources in polysensitized children in Spain.
Materials And Methods: A Delphi study was performed using an online survey designed by a committee of pediatric AIT experts: 46 and 44 panelists participated in Rounds 1 and 2, respectively. In Round 1, 204 statements on 8 dimensions were evaluated (Diagnosis, Therapeutic management, and Pollens - Part I; Mites, molds, animals, hymenoptera venom, and mixtures - Part II).

We introduce an ultrasensitive interferometric protocol that combines weak value amplification (WVA) with traditional interferometry. This protocol WVA+interferometry uses weak value amplification of the relative delay between two paths to enhance interferometric sensitivity. As an example, we demonstrate a proof-of-principle experiment that achieves few-attosecond timing resolution (few nanometer path length resolution) with a double-slit interferometer using only common optical components.
